I only have one year to live, so I must become a legendary horse girl!

It always feels very similar, like when I just came into this world.

I open my eyes and face the competition field before I have time to breathe. I have to face the fact that I only have one year left to live before I have time to feel the beauty of this world. Then, driven by fear and terror, I burn my heart and soul, wanting to turn into an eternal shooting star in the sky and in everyone's heart.

It’s like what I want to do next.

Let the rhythm of this song remain in this world forever, forever taking away everyone's most brilliant memories of this aspect -

Since I'm the winner of the Japan Cup, and since I'm the horse girl everyone loves, I'm not going to hesitate to use my little privileges... I want to be willful for a bit!

"So everyone, let us feel it together. This transcends time, history, and everything from the past to the present, all united as one, witnessed by countless shining stars..."

"The eternal beat."

Gotham Carol closed her eyes. She said nothing, but just took a deep breath and felt the slightly cool breeze in the night.

A current of air blew in from far away, slightly blowing the girl's light gray skirt, and then the shawl behind her shoulders...

The wind seems to bring the breath from afar. It is the only thing in the world that never stops. It keeps dissipating, blowing, gathering, and then moving from far away to another far away, always like this.

Isn’t it romantic?

Perhaps the air current blowing past you now contains information from the first moment of the birth of this planet. It has been blowing from that very first moment to the present, constantly splitting and reorganizing, and then coming to you with information from the past and far away, never stopping.

Maybe the wind that is blowing now can carry the scent of rain and the gazes of everyone at that time?

Therefore, they will also carry this present moment to a very long time in the future, and then tell everyone who may not be able to perceive it.

As the sound of the piano rang out, the chandeliers above Gotham Carol only dimly lit up. They surrounded them and played their own role along with the beat of the solo.

And during this interval, Gotham Carol picked up the microphone.

In the end, her dancing didn't reach a very sufficient level, at least she herself felt it was too eye-catching, so this was destined to be a performance that some people might find flawed.

But...this is all that Gotham Carol has been able to offer.

She sang her first note in the spotlight.

"As if guided by some mysterious force, I crossed the wilderness..."

Is it the wilderness? Is it the difficulty? Actually, it’s all the same. It’s the biggest obstacle in the epic of life... And now, Gotham Carol has overcome everything, and she is standing here.

The singing continued, but when the first phrase was about to end, the pre-recorded harmony sounded.

That was the voice of every horse girl connected to Gotham Carol, New Universe, Ruby, Tea House, Peak, Aldan, the Emperor and Ogurus, and many more, even Secretariat and Rudolph the Symbol were involved.

They are all part of the beat of this moment, part of the journey and life of Gotham Anthem.

"Rushing through this beautiful world, amidst the throbbing of everyone..."

What keeps me company? Everyone, and...

“Countless souls have taken steps with me.”

And all the people who witnessed this.

"I hope this time will never end, with the desire to transcend time..."

“Everlasting BEATS“

Play this eternal beat.

How long will this singing last?

It certainly won’t last long, after all, this is just a winner’s stage, but!

Wouldn't such a song last forever? Because it was the true cry of Gotham's heart, her gratitude to everyone, her cry to the world, and...

She had to tell everyone about her own affairs no matter what.

This point must be made clear to the fans who have always supported her.

As Dusk Song, as Gotham's ode, she certainly wouldn't confess everything, but if she did it in a different way, if she did it in such a gentle way—

Maybe not many people can hear the emotion, but it doesn’t matter!

Can you convince yourself?

Of course it can.

because…

I don't run away.

"A shining figure from a distant time..."

"Although she didn't travel across tens of millions of years."

Actually, if you think about it now, the name "Dusk Song" might become obsolete in a few decades or even centuries. But now, Gotham Carol is no longer afraid of being forgotten.

At least she is not afraid at this moment, because she is now the center of the world.

"But if I could leave it to tomorrow, I would also cherish today—"

"Consider this precious second life as the meaning of existence!"

Let's use this miracle and grace that comes from nowhere as a new beginning, entrust everything in the past to the present, and move towards tomorrow step by step with such a warm starting point and care.

This is a celebration, a celebration for Bo Mu Liu Ge's final farewell to this world, but also...

Congratulations on your complete rebirth as Gotham's Carol!

“It was like embarking on an epic journey to a distant land,”

"Take destiny as the infinite extension of faith!"

Gotham Carol raised her hand, responding to all the fans waving their glow sticks, as if she was responding to their feelings - but in fact, that was indeed the behavior, wasn't it?

She stands on the stage for everyone, but at the same time, it is everyone's support that allows her to continue singing like this.

It's everyone shining with her in Gotham's ode to radiance, around this stage, in this world, in this story.

Everyone is a shining star.

"Let's run through this infinite time and express all our feelings!"

Gotham Carol took a deep breath, and then…she sang the final verse of the song.

Is this the end of today's sudden and short performance? Of course it is, but Gotham Carol does not think that anyone present will have any so-called regrets.

She still has a long life ahead of her as a horse girl. Although the fact that she has opened two realms cannot be ignored - but there is also the Arima Memorial, the final battle in the classic year, and various competitions next year. She and those little ones have agreed to run in the competition together!

Even after the Year of the Horse is over, she will still have a life as an ordinary horse girl. Maybe she will become a trainer and start her new journey?

After all, Chunqiufen is a child so cute that people don’t want to let him go.

So, the end of today is just the end of today. The sun sets and rises. When you get up from the bed, the next day begins. The second game of Gotham Carols should also be marked on the schedule and waiting to come, right?

Ah, but there probably won’t be a winner’s stage by then… hehe.

"Once we have found it again, we should cherish it—"

"Just consider this limited life as the entire meaning of your existence."

“It’s like embarking on a grand journey to a distant land, putting fate and faith at stake!”

So, it’s been such a difficult journey, and it’s been great to have you all here, to have so many people who care about me, and to have so many fans who didn’t hide their love for Gotham Anthem in the end.

Gotham Carol was no longer clear about her expression. She only knew that her voice almost lost control while singing, and the expression on her face might not look very good - but anyway!

No one should be able to see me on such a dark stage, right? Luckily, luckily...

Before going on stage, she specifically requested that the lights not be turned on, otherwise if the embarrassing moment was seen by so many people and even recorded, it might really be circulated for a long time.

That kind of thing is too embarrassing.

What is the best adjective to describe your journey?

It's probably just... boring, right? Especially when I'm playing as Mu Liuge.

Pressure, pain, sadness, physical and mental, things I want to express but dare not, things I want to rely on but cannot bother others, things I want to get but keep suppressing myself...

Days like that always seem to be surrounded by haze, even the home is always foggy. Only when I am with my family will there be some color. But in this dark world, even the strongest heartbeat will be grasped and lose its pulse.

Looking back, it was truly a painful time, so painful that just mentioning its name should bring tears to my eyes, right? The most terrifying moment in this short, already intense year wasn't even the moment of its end.

But it is the fear of death that never fades.

After even feeling liberated on the Arc de Triomphe, Gotham Carol finally got a second chance. She transcended time, pain, and death. She transcended everything that pursued her and came back to this world.

It was at this time that the true door to this world was completely opened, and Gotham Carol only then felt...

I was completely accepted by this world, and the grayness of the whole world faded away.

The moment when the past and the present intertwine, the moment when Dusk Song and Gotham Carol say goodbye...

"With a hope that transcends time,"

"Play the eternal beat..."

“Although it’s a bit strange, but…”

"But there have always been so many, so many... those I can see and those I can't see, but they all watch me, like the eternally shining stars in the sky..."

“It’s wonderful to have everyone so willing to stay with me.”

That’s so great, so great…

Chapter 125: Our Night

Even without watching, Gotham Anthem knew that the first hot search tonight would probably be himself and the Japan Cup.

Hmm…how should I put it? After the Chrysanthemum Festival, she had a rough idea of ​​her current popularity, and everything that happened after the Japan Cup would only exacerbate it.

Because she not only won a brilliant victory, but also fully demonstrated her original state, and added to that the only time she could be the winner of the stage -

With so many things happening, Gotham Carol feels it would be hard for its popularity not to experience a new explosion.

After all, this is a competition that the whole world is watching, and the winner's stage can be seen by the whole world through live replays and recordings.

However, even though she knew this clearly, Gotham Carol had no regrets. She was just a little ashamed, and then she took a step forward calmly with a secret joy as if she was being noticed.

I walked off the stage and into the green room, and before I could think about anything else...

A pair of hands gently pinched my shoulders and pulled me into his arms.

Uh, who could it be?

"Shh, don't sing a little hymn. The situation is a little complicated right now, but anyway... I'm telling you, listen. Remember?"

"Ah, good, good."

This was the voice of the Brave Dancer. Hearing the whisper of the old senior who suddenly approached them at this time, Gotham Carol became nervous for a moment.

She had never seen the brave dancer so serious before. This meant that what was about to happen and what she had to pay attention to might be a very serious problem... ?

"First, Secretariat went berserk."

"Eh?"

The Secretariat went berserk…? What does that mean? Wait, wait, wait, the Secretariat went berserk? Why is that?

Brave Dancer was very satisfied with Gotham Carol's current reaction. She had already written a lot of content in Gotham Carol's observation diary, and from what she had always known, she could see.

Apparently, the little fool in my arms still hasn't realized it...

Realize what?

"Let me just state my conclusion. You don't need to understand why. Anyway, the Secretariat is helping you in this way, in large part because..."

"To avenge Bo Mu Liu Ge."

Revenge for me... No, for Bo Mu Liu Ge? Do you want to listen to what you're saying, Brave Dancer?

I have never met the secretariat before, and have no contact at all!!

Gotham Carol didn't understand, and she patted the brave dancer's arms that were easily wrapped around her chest.

If you keep talking nonsense like this, even I'll get angry, you know?! If you're playing a prank on someone, at least come up with a better excuse!

"No, no, no, Miss Songge, you don't understand at all. It's true that the Secretariat has never met Miss Liuge, but..."

"Does this prevent her from yearning for Bo Mu Liu Ge?"

what?

"This, this isn't right. I've never met her, but I'm still yearning for her. This is too weird, isn't it?"
